Japan binding
Japan bond , also Japanese bond , Japanese thread stitching , block bonding , stitch or side stitch is a kind of the binding of books.
This binding method spread from China to East Asia.
This is a type of binding in which the sheets are only printed on one side and are bound folded in the middle. It consists of quarter arches closed at the front, only the outside of which is printed. This method can be used to generate volume with little content. It also prevents the motifs on the back from showing through.
The sheets are also stapled with threads or ribbons so that they are clearly visible from the outside . It is sewn vertically from above, without folding the paper beforehand, through the paper block or pulled through prefabricated holes. The paper is then given a crease.
